NIPPON POST on 1 March 1972 issued a First Day Cover featuring Japanese Kabuki theatre stamps. The three stamps depicted scenes from Kabuki plays, including "Kumagai Jin'ya" and "Awa no Naruto". Postmark cancellation originated from Osaka, Japan.
The stamps were part of a series showcasing Japanese traditional performing arts, specifically Kabuki theatre.
Kabuki puppets are typically half-life size and manipulated by three visible puppeteers working in harmony with a narrator and musician.
